Faking It

Previously on "Faking It"...

- You two are friends now? - Mm-hmm.

Dylan is cheating on her. Some has to tell Karma.

We're done.

Everyone's talking about your video.

At least I didn't abandon my best friend.

You forced me to kiss you over and over again,

and then you rejected me!

I don't want to keep hurting you, Amy,

but I don't know how to be your friend

without hurting you.

Oh, no. Amy!

What are you doing?

Mom, it's fine.

I learned a lot about refinishing furniture

with all the lesbians this summer.

Enough with the DIY.

Honey, I get it.

You're tryin' to distract yourself from missing Karma.

This is about creating better workflow.

Well, flow your work somewhere else.

No more home projects.

End of story.

We have over 10,000 followers

across all social media platforms.

People are so inspired by you.

Except I can't be an inspirational figure

if I only inspire people to rage.

Who'd you piss off now?

New Lisbeth tweeted

that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is my spirit animal.

True as that may be, it's also offensive

to the Native American peoples, apparently.

She really it this time.

Lauren, she's standing right there.

No, I'm talking about old New Lisbeth.

This is new New Lisbeth.

Okay. Brainstorm time, girls.

I need new ideas

to expand my public reach.

- Let's make a documentary. - You have my attention.

We can follow you with cameras,

and capture your inspiring journey.

People love seeing inside the lives of public figures.

When do we start?

Karma, we have something

we think is going to cheer you up.

Look what we found unpacking

the last of the boxes from storage.

- Ah? - It's a sign.

Destiny is sure to bring

you and Amy back together.

Sorry, but I don't believe in signs anymore.

And even if I did, look at this.

It's a half-broken heart with jagged edges.

If anything, we were destined to be torn apart.

Sensing a lot of sublimated emotions right now.

We could talk through those.

Oh, I can get the therapy puppets.

No. Please, no puppets.

Because there is no hope, and I've accepted that.

Honey, you've been holed up in here all week.

I've just been laser-focused on my music,

but I'm-I'm heading out to go meet Shane for coffee,

so no reason for concern.

All right. Thank you.

Bye.

What does "in perpetuity" mean?

It means if you don't sign, you get cut out.

That simple enough?

I got two cameras from the AV club

that will work great with the hand-held setups,

and I'm gonna get a B-camera operator

to get coverage for better editing.

Wow, Amy, you actually sound like

you know what you're talking about.

This could be big.

Like, we could make money off of this.

Well, documentaries don't really make money,

but we can help people.

Right. That. Leila. Lisbeth.

I think hair and make-up tests are in order.

Excuse us.

Look who just stopped by with his charming smile.

- Felix. - Hey.

Holy crap. Hi.

So good to see you again after this summer.

Did you have a good one?

Well, I spent it in rehab, so there's that.

Oh, that sounds so relaxing.

Maybe I need rehab.

Anyway, I'll leave you two alone.

I'm sure you want to catch up.

Even after a rehab reveal, your mom still roots for me.

- How was it? - Oh.

I'd say it was a sobering experience.

Hey, um, do you have any plans tonight?

Oh, so, listen. About that.

I'm actually not supposed to date anyone...

six months from my sober date, to be exact.

You know, it's part of these recovery rules.

Not that I wouldn't, though,

because you're givin' me a weird face.

What?

Actually, I was gonna ask you if you wanted

to be my cameraman for this documentary

that I've got with Lauren.

Oh, and you couldn't have stopped me.

Oh, but you were on such a roll.

Well, let me just pull my foot out of my mouth and say,

"Sure, I'd love to hold a camera for you."

What's Karma doing? Wardrobe I bet.

Karma and I aren't really friends anymore.

It was a thing, but it's so not a big deal.

That's like saying, "The Titanic hit

so not a big iceberg."

What happened?

What's past is past. There's no need to dwell.

Especially with all this film prep

that we have, so,

let's get cracking.

One soy hazelnut double-shot latte, iced.

So, what, did they hire you

and the live music?

No, it's an open mic thing.

So, I take it that means you can't get me his digits?

Uh, did you go on a break?

'Cause this looks like a break, and it sounds like a break,

but you didn't ask me for a break.

Rachel, can I take a break?

No. I need you.

Um, behind the bar,

because your foam art skills are clutch,

and people lose their

without the hearts and leaves on their lattes.

Speaking of getting digits,

boss lady's, like, super into you.

What? No.

One, she's not my boss. She's my supervisor.

And two, I do not think that was flirting.

And three, you're still hung up

on a certain redheaded former paramour.

- Karma. - Obviously.

- Who else? - Hey!

Nice apron.

Nice... you.

Oh, look at that. Okay, duty calls.

Look who crawled out of her cave.

Is your skin burning from overdue sun exposure?

How are your eyes adjusting?

What is with everyone?

I'm fine.

Really, I'm fine.

How many sad songs have you written this week?

I lost count.

But it's a good thing.

I mean, I release my emotional demons through song.

And what about exorcising those demons

in front of a live audience.

- What? Here? - Come on.

I'll go up there with you.

We'll be the Brew & Chew version of She & Him.

You're not gonna let this go until I say, "yes," right?

It's like we've been friends forever.

Hi. I'm Lauren.

I'm a 16 year-old girl living in Austin, Texas,

and I'm just like you.

Eww. No. Uh, that was wrong.

Let's take that again. Forget that last one, okay?

- Okay. - Just relax.

I'm gonna keep the camera rolling so that

it gets everything... It doesn't have to be perfect.

Just be real.

Yeah, but I want it to be really perfect.

- - Hello, Lauren.

I was wondering if you have a moment

to discuss with me a problem I am having.

I always have time for a friend in need.

I have a date tonight,

but I am worried my lips do not stand out.

Ugh, that is a problem.

You know, you can get the same shine my lips have

by using Sweep'n 'Shine glossy lipstick.

What the ?

Cut!

What is this? What is happening?

I'm just trying to show potential sponsors

how seamlessly I can integrate products

into my reality show.

Reality show.

Lauren, this is a documentary.

I told you, it's not about the money.

For you maybe,

but I parlay my inspirational fame

into an aspirational lifestyle brand.

I'm calling it "Life By Lauren."

This project should be about something.

It is about something, me.

And as the star, I say what it should be.

Come on, Leila.
